EVERYTHING you need to know about adopting IN ONE BOOK, I love the authors ability to capture each situaton that can come up (including financial),lessening the fear of starting the adoption process. Many resources (if not all) are listed for every state and Canada! A must have guide if you are considering adopting.

This review is from: Adoption: Your Step-by-Step Guide (Paperback)

The title says it all! We have been so overwhelmed with wondering where to start, how, with who and all the other emotions entaled with adopting, we really needed it laid out simple and with honest hope!
We no longer need a collection of books on adoption...this covers it all and in simple to understand steps!

Thank you for "walking with us" along our journey!

Adoption: Your Step by Step Guide is an easy-to-digest guide book on adoption in the 21st century. If you're looking for straight forward, honest, experienced, and encouraging information on how to pursue your adoption dream then this is the book for you. It is a quick read and filled with tons of outside resources to help you complete your adoption journey. Not only was it helpful, but the anecdotes and examples really helped make the process seem less overwhelming. Adoption is such a huge process, but this book helps make adopting a child seem within reach. Thank you!
